What’s my Fifth Wheel Trailer Worth

Question: Dear Luise: We have a ME TOO, 17ft. Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer. Thinking about selling it since we haven’t used it. It is in very good condition. How do I find a price? I looked on NADA and found nothing. Any advice? Looking forward to your response. D.

Answer: Dear D.: It looks to me like your trailer is an “orphan”…which means it is no longer being manufactured.

I think I would search the web for other fifth wheels of the same size, construction, age and general floor plan. There are many sites that sell used trailers. I’d probably start with Craig’s List. Pay special attention to any makes that are also orphans. When you have a pretty good average of what they are going for…advertise it for that amount and see what happens. Blessings, Luise

About Luise Volta

Luise’s long life has brought her to being the great grandmother of four teenagers. Born in 1927, the miles in between her teens and theirs have been full of falling and getting up, learning and growing and then falling and getting up again. A normal, though not simple, process.
She has had diverse careers in nursing, teaching preschool, interior design, Real Estate sales, insurance adjusting and dairy herd testing. She’s lived in the Mid-west, South and West Coast. Luise is married to the love of her life, Val, born in 1911. Their little terrier, “Rosa,” makes most of the major decisions at their house, (or thinks she does).
